Halloween Black Spooktacular Comic Infographic and Web Designs

The history of Halloween began many centuries ago in the lands of modern Britain and northern France. This area was inhabited by the Celtic pagan tribes. They divided the year into two parts – winter and summer. During the winter the sun god was in captivity of Samhain, the lord of the dead, and the prince of darkness. November 1 is the Celtic festival dedicated to Samhain. According to ancient legend, that night opened the door to another world, and the dwellers of Hell penetrated the ground. At night, lit bonfires and sacrifices to evil spirits to appease them. In the first century AD the Romans conquered the Celtic territory, bringing with them their own traditions. In late October, Romans celebrated the holiday honored to Feralia, the holiday commemorates the dead.

In the IX-th century, when Christianity spread throughout UK, these ancient traditions mingled with another one holiday – the Catholic All Saints’ Day – All Hallows Even. Later it became known as Hallowe’en, and, in the end, – Halloween (Halloween). Up till there remained only a set of some funny traditions. That night people dress up in costumes of evil spirits and make masquerades. An essential symbol of Halloween is a pumpkin head. Pumpkin symbolizes both the end of the harvest and an evil spirit the fire is meant to scare him away. This night, children knocking at the house, shouting: “Treat or trick!” – “Treat or regret”. If you do not bring a sacrifice, these small “evil demons” can severely make fun of you.

Halloween is really popular in both hemispheres and if you ask any person about the colors that represent this awesome holiday they will definitely name black and orange. So let’s talk about the first one – black. Actually, the perfect black – it’s not even a color. This is a complete absence of light, darkness, nothingness, the “black hole.” Therefore, any object can be perceived as perfectly black – reflecting absolutely no light. By the way, astronomical “black hole” is a star that’s extremely compressed by its own gravity forces that not even the light can “escape” from this attraction.
